TOLD BY TELEGRAPH.
Eve Men Killed and a Large
WAREHOUSE Burned.
AN OLD COUPLES GENEROUS GIFT.

Boston, September AT about ten o'clock
this morning, a schooner loaded with naptha
was lying near the wharf opposite JoliB-H.
Cunningham's great oil store, near the Chelsea
end of Chelsea bridge. -Four men were on deck
and one below. Suddenly there was puff Of
black smoke and then tremendous explosion,
and a man on the bridge saw the deck of the
vessel rise into the air. In the midst Of flame
and smoke were the bodies Of four men. They
were hurled high above the schooner and then
fell back into the flames. The fifth man
jumped overheard and was drowned. The
flames quickly spread TO Cunningham's store
house, which was soon destroyed. Meanwhile
the burning hull drifted around against the
drawbridge and burned away the draw. This
shut off the Boston fire department and pre-
vented them getting to the Chelsia side. The
storehouse was 100 feet long by 50 wide and
four stories high 1t was filled with oil.

Fresh Air.

We do not condemn the theory orthe practice
of reSorting TO fresh ar,mountain retreats, quiet
country homes, seaside rambles and bathing, or
the various mineral springs as restoratives to
failing health. No doubt there are many who
have been greatly relieved 10y all these favorite
resorts, and some very justly claim they have
been cured. But the number is legion that
find no comfort, no relief TO their weakness,
their aches, their pains, in such grasping at
straws in their struggle to save themselves.
The following letters illustrate this point and
shows the wisdom Of the one most interested
in the case.
A patient in Grand Junction, Tennessee,
on April 20, 1886, wrote the following:
"My family doctor said l ought and must go
TO Hot Springs and stay there months. Ny
good brother came down from Middle Tennes-
see to see me, and he also tried to persuade me
to go and spend three months at the Springs.
] declined TO do so on the ground that l knew
more about Hot Springs than either Of them.
Just simply told them that intended to stay at
home and use Compound Oxygen, and be where
l could get fresh air. l believe three months
at the Springs, taking that contaminated air
in all the time would kill me. l have been
there once, and il was frutless trip,aye worse.
On the other hand have rs much confidence
in Compound Oxygen, as | would have in Civ
ing beef and bread TO q starving man. The
Compound Oxygen that l used over wear ago
did me much good. l wanted 10 be moving to
some other country all the time, and could not
control myself about eating and many other
things. l find much relief in these respects
after using the Compound Oxygen.

Chronic Catarrh of Twenty-Five Years
Cured in m yery Short Time.

Cured in Very Short Time.
One Of the most disagreeable and obnoxious
diseases is catarrh. Because the disease is
local, many make the fatal mistake of trying
to make a cure by local treatment. It's an es-
tablished fact that catarrh is q constitutional
blood disease; and II cannot be cured except
by thoroughly purifying the blood-eradicat.

Camp George Washington was a dreary
succession of muddy slopes partially cov-
cred with old bedding and camp debris
yesterday. About two-thirds OF the tents
have been struck, and all the companies,
with the exception Of the Muscatine Rifles,
have started for home. Col. Wright and
Col. Vandenburg were the only staff officers
to be found, and their duties will soon be
at an end. A large force of laborers are at
work on the grounds engaged in clearing
up the remnants Of the camp. The Michi-
gan Cadets have removed to Willard's and
the Minneapolis company are sheltered and
cared for at the National Rifles armory.
The Rifles have dispensed bountiful hos
pitality during the drill to many Of the
visiting organizations, and to the Minnesota
companies particularly. On Thursday they
win act as escort to the Minneapolitans ON a
trip to Mt. Vernon and Marshall Hall, at
which latter place feast will be spread.
